This book is a collection of short stories in Naskapi that features the \"historical account\" traditional Algonquian storytelling genre, tipâchimûna (stories). It features some eyewitness accounts of tragic and exciting events on the land, as well as a first-person account of the storyteller's own adventures and skill as a hunter and provider. This is the fifth book in a series prepared for reading in Naskapi and in English by the Naskapi Development Corporation. John Peastitute (1896-1981) was a Naskapi Elder who was a well respected as a story-keeper and storyteller. His repertoire of both tipâchimûna and âtiyûhkinich was extensive, and his performances engaging. The tape recordings of his stories that have survived to be preserved, processed and studied are a precious legacy. The \"Caught in a Blizzard\" collection is the beginning of a series of true historical accounts of Naskapi life by a Naskapi speaker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Peastitute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1387066889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781387066889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"John Peastitute","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48485053923583,"sku":"9781387066889","price":30.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b9b501b7-3eba-4cbc-89d5-6c640043ae11.jpg?v=1778047589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/caught-in-a-blizzard-and-john-peastitute-9781387066889","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
